Rainier Sunrise Bike Climb
At an elevation of 6400 feet, Sunrise is the highest point attainable by vehicle in Mount Rainier. Its flowery meadows, hiking trails, and in-your-face view of the Mountain make it the second most visited location in the park. It is also one of the last areas in the park to open to vehicle traffic—typically late June to early July. This later opening presents the opportunistic bicyclist with a chance to experience an epic road climb into Mount Rainier car-free.
